2010 2016 hybrid migration

Copper Contributor

Hello,

Looking to do a migration from Exchange 2010, but would like to also setup the 2016 hybrid server.

Can you tell me what the best options for this are?

 

Can I setup the 2016 hybrid server and move mailboxes from 2010 to the cloud without a double migration hop. e.g 2010 to 2016 to 365.

 

Or is it best to setup the hybrid on the 2010 box, migrate. Then setup a 2016 box and reconfigure the hybrid connection (HCW)?

Hi @Jason Gaffney,

 

The best option is to install and configure an Exchange 2016 Hybrid and after you have run the HCW and do tests of mailflow, migration, free/busy with test mailboxes you can migrate directly to Office 365 from 2010 using the 2016 hybrid.
